How many points do you put into health?

[Salem Graves]

I'm playing a pure warrior, the only magic I use is restoration for healing since I'm playing on survival, also master difficulty. I'm sitting at level 38 with 320 hp, 250 stamina 100 magicka with no gear equipped. I'm finally starting to feel like I can enter combat and not die in 2 hits, has a lot to do with my armor being pretty strong, so I'm wondering if I should stop putting points into health and just go full stamina, what do you guys think?

Keeps adding through balance. Once you start wearing enchanted gear and better yet making/enchanting your own you can add much more health through necklaces, armor, rings, etc.

300 with level up points then enchants on armour to bump it up more. With legendary armour you will bypass the armour cap and have 80% resistance to physical damage. Then with enchanting you can get fire, frost and shock resistance to 100 easily. You will not be taking much damage at all.

When I go Warrior type, it's usually 2h. So I push Health and Stamina to about 300 evenly. After that, it's all about whatever I seem to be needing. (That much stamina is because 2h power attacks are hungry things I find.)

As for me 500 HP is good enough even for legendary difficulty. Ideally I would like even more, like 1000 hp, but that's already achievable only with a lot of legendary skills. Of coz I imply that one has armor cap.

320 for master diffculty should be ok too. I like "tankish" builds. So I would still invest more in HP.

I'm level 56 with 350 health, 300 stamina, and 200 magicka, playing on adept difficulty (but I should be playing on expert). If it weren't for college starting again and spending time on gaining perks for vampire lord and werewolf, I'd probably be past level 60 with 400 health and 350 stamina by now. You should put in points for both health and stamina. Stamina is very important for running, shield bashing, and zooming in for bows.

Magicka is unimportant for a warrior build, especially with specific items that increase and/or regenerate a lot of magicka by completing College of Winterhold questline.

300 health and stamina are kind of low unless one has good weapons and armor to compliment it.

That's why the 'after that' part. Once they're both at 300, if I've gotten great armor, I may push stamina to 350 before any more health. If I haven't, health is likely going way up before stamina gets more.

All of them. No matter the character. Warrior, mage, thief....

Magicka? Not needed. Gear and experience completely negate the need for it.

Stamina? For what? Completely useless and uneeded. In 10 years, I've only invested in Stamina, once. That's only one level.

In the end... HP is the only thing that actually warrants your attention.

It depends on you.......
many would say divide the increases between Health and Stamina equally.
Others would say get Health up to certain level and put the rest in Stamina
Still more would say increase stamina to a certain point and put the rest in health.

Some will even say put a certain amount into magicka, just for when you want to use a spell or two....
I would say try different approachs and see what works for you, if you find yourself lacking in certain stat then increase it, but experiment and see what is your style.

After putting around around 400 Stamina and Magicka (if one wants a balanced Spellsword), all of them.
